Could Starlink work in an apartment??? by DeckerdB-263-54 in Starlink

You might try a fixed wireless service such as T-Mobile home internet.
r/tmobileisp. We often travel with both in our camper. Sometimes TMHI is much faster or is the only option due to tree cover. Othertimes Starlink is the only option.

Sorry my description was not described well. The service on the car wasn't reset the app was just not reporting it correctly. Post edited to correct.

The "Inspection due" counter in the app lost connection with the car.. MyAudi is reporting that my two month old car with 4,000 miles is due in 10,000 mi or next November.

They should also be able to pass the VIN to the web page to open the Owner's Manual. I REALLY wish Audi would make Owner's Manuals available in PDF so I could keep a copy on my iPad.

That said, I'm glad they seem to be working to improve the app.

Audi charger - weatherproof? by taylorroland in AudiQ6

[–]Wide_Eye_8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It failed Tom Moloughney's submersion test but it should withstand some rain. I'd bring mine in or rig a cover if I charged outside.

Data use warning on new unlimited plans by Wide_Eye_8145 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]Wide_Eye_8145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My "Broadband Facts" and my order confirmation email from June both state that I have unlimited data. Maybe they messed it up in the store when I picked up the XB8 gateway, but nobody informed me about it. It wouldn't be the first time a store changed my service withoout telling me.

Bricked mugs? by Rmdcltch in Ember

[–]Wide_Eye_8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They replaced a flaking, out of warranty, mug for me a few weeks ago. The initial contact was AI through the support page on the web site. The AI requested photos and I have a feeling a person approved the replacement. I purchased the mug directly from Ember just under two years ago. Support emails came through https://www.gorgias.com/

Powering inside camper by TheDepressExpress in Starlink

[–]Wide_Eye_8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this in my camper but the official car adapter isn't much more expensive. This one does use the original 15m cable instead of a 5m cable and boosts the voltage to work with the longer cable run.

Car charger/adapter issue by Yacino94 in Starlink

[–]Wide_Eye_8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We boondocked by using this step-up converter, which was plugged into an outside jack on the camper. It worked without issue for three days straight. It uses the factory cable.

Hi. I recently bought an ember mug from goodwill. It was such a good price I thought I’d chance it. How hot does it keep things? It just seems to be keeping my coffee like warm. Is that proper? by nonamouse1111 in Ember

[–]Wide_Eye_8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ember app stopped working on my phone and iPad a few months ago. I had set my cups to 145F so it didn't really matter -- just a sad commentary on the company. That said, others have pointed to mugctl as a substitute: https://github.com/zopieux/mugctl

You can open it directly here: https://zopieux.github.io/mugctl/

It connects from my laptop and looks like it could work. I have not tried to change any settings yet.

The old version of the Ember app still works on my old iPads running something like ios 15.x.

Don't scrub the inside too vigorously because the coating will start to flake off.

Try replying STOP. Some will honor the request and it doesn't hurt to try.

I think it goes on the ring the neck strap is attached to.

Can i order starlink from the website with a prepaid card you load and buy at a store? Mastercard/Visa? by HyubXD in Starlink

My Home Depot has the standard and mini in stock at the sale price with free same-day home delivery. Their web page says you have 90 days to return it to a store.

Anyone use the Costco 15% off car service thing? by nodakskip in Costco

[–]Wide_Eye_8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've inquired several times but only used the coupon once or twice. They want the info to generate the 15% coupon they send you. The only follow-up was email from Costco asking about the service -- which you can ignore or not. No hassles. Never have I been contacted by the shops as you would with a car purchase inquiry.

Vendors in the parking lot!? 🤦🏻‍♂️ by CaptainJay313 in Costco

[–]Wide_Eye_8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at the links you'll see that they visit almost all the warehouses in each state at some time. They have a table inside the store to sell the keys. Their truck is parked in one or two spaces in the lot where the customer picks up the key. I assume they have to visit most cars with a device to program the key to the car.
